The steps involved indeveloping a BOK are: 1. Development of an all inclusive topic list containing topicstraditionally taught as well as those that have been considered supplemental, 2. Development of amechanism for all faculty to provide input on each topic, 3. Synthesis and evaluation of the datacollected, 4.

Foremost, this program was created by transitioning an existingManufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) program that included an option in CAD/CAM.As a result, the new program was designed to incorporate the strengths of this long establishedtechnology program.

There are some good one- or two-semester comprehensive texts in specialty areas, usually aimed at seniors and graduate students; but there are currently no texts or series of texts designed to cover the specialty in an integrated fashion throughout the curriculum.

His theme is that, to better prepare future engineers for theirroles in a rapidly changing world, there needs to be a completely new approach to the educationand training of manufacturing engineers. This approach should follow an integrated orconcurrent model of design and manufacturing. This integrated approach

Second anymaterials provided must match the time constraints associated with typical lecture formats.Finally, any new material added to the curriculum must be consistent with the guidelines of astate approved curriculum.
